Restaurants, Places to Eat and Food in Goa

Goan cuisine is much different from any other cuisine anywhere in the world. You will sample some of the best delicacies during your holidays in Goa. Its cooking is unparalleled even anywhere else within India. Since Goa is near the sea, it is quite understandable that the cuisine is more seafood oriented. Indeed, you haven't had crabs if you haven't tasted them in Goa. The same goes for the lobsters, the pomfrets, the mackerels, the clams… the list goes on. Goans have a special way of preparing curries – they use fresh coconut milk (called as naarlacho roce) and very little oil.


Spices are used in moderation too, because most of Goan cooking is targeted at bringing out the natural flavors of the food. Pork preparations, especially vindaloo and sorpotel, are very popular. Vegetarian delights are also present in great measure, especially perfected by the Hindu population of the state.

Rice is the staple accompaniment to Goan dishes. Goa also has several sweet dishes of its own including some marzipan preparations, bebinca, coconut doss, coconut and walnut fudges and a lot more!

Given that Goa is a huge tourist hub, the restaurants here specialize in local Goan cuisine as well as cuisine from other parts of the world. You can find Italian, Chinese, Lebanese, Thai, American, Continental, etc. gastronomical delights here and often a single restaurant will offer different kinds of cuisines.

Also, you will find all kinds of restaurants during your holidays in Goa (don't be surprised if some restaurants are called 'hotels' here – that is almost a part of the local dialect . You will find fast food joints, pubs with restaurants attached, bars, top grade gourmet places and many more. You will definitely enjoy eating at a different place each day!
